After claiming the network blamed him for the recent leak of the remaining Power episodes, 50 has seemingly owned up to the crime, claiming he did Starz a favor.

"POWER Ratings up another 10 percent for episode 408," 50 wrote as a caption to a photo of himself on Instagram. "They glad I leaked the s*** now. LOL #SAVAGELIFE"

While it's not certain if 50 actually leaked the episodes or is only joking, the rapper has previously admitted to purposely causing controversy with the hopes of garnering more attention for his series.

50 then switched gears to promote his upcoming BET show, 50 Central, which is set to premiere in September. "Now watch what I do on BET. #50Centralbet," he wrote.

Last week, Starz vowed to take "legal action" against the person who leaked the remaining three episodes of the fourth season. The network also disabled their press website, where it was reported the leaker accessed the shows.

50 Cent's supposed confession comes after the show's executive producer, Courtney A. Kemp, said the network wouldn't agree to a 12-episode season instead of their normal ten.

On Wednesday night, the Family Feud host took to Twitter to show affection to his wife Marjorie for being his "always" crush. Unfortunately, in his tweet Harvey confused "Man Crush Monday" for "Woman Crush Wednesday."

"My #MCM always @majorie_harvey," he wrote as a caption to a photo of his wife, that was later deleted and captured by EurWeb.

After fans reportedly hounded the host about his incorrect hashtag, Harvey deleted his tweet. He then posted the same photo, writing the correct hashtag "My #WCW always."

According to a statement from the studio, Cruise broke his ankle while performing a stunt for the film.

The movie remains on schedule to open on July 27, 2018, the studio's statement said.

"Tom wants to thank you all for your concern and support and can't wait to share the film with everyone next summer," the statement concluded.

Over the weekend, ABC News obtained video footage from the set of the film that showed Cruise leaping from a platform and landing short of the building for which he seemed to be aiming. He caught himself with his hands, and then limped away. At the time, neither Cruise's publicist nor a representative for Paramount would confirm that the actor was injured.

In 2013, the action star, 55, told interviewer Graham Norton that he's trained for 30 years to be able to do his own stunts.

"It allows us to put cameras in places that you're not normally able to do," he explained. "When I started producing Mission: Impossible, I started developing different action around what I could physically train to do."

(LOS ANGELES) -- Some fans of HBO's wildly fantasy drama series Game of Thrones love the show so much, they're apparently buying and adopting Siberian huskies, because of their resemblance to the huge, wolf-like direwolves from the show. The problem: after the novelty wears off, many of these dogs are being abandoned at shelters.

“Huskies are a very high-energy breed,” Jodie Simard, executive director of Wagging Tails Rescue in Las Vegas, told ABC Las Vegas affiliate KTNV-TV. “They’re also very intelligent, so if you don’t keep them busy and keep them exercised, they can be destructive.”

In the past six months, Simard added, Wagging Tails has seen a, “huge increase in the amount of huskies surrendered."

It's gotten to be such an issue that Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage issued a plea to fans buying or adopting huskies. The actor, who plays Tyrion Lannister, says in a statement released by PETA, "Please, please, if you're going to bring a dog into your family, make sure that you're prepared for such a tremendous responsibility and remember to always, ALWAYS, adopt from a shelter."

Dinklage's co-star Sophie Turner, who plays Sansa, actually adopted the dog that played her direwolf Lady on the show.

“Growing up, I always wanted a dog, but my parents never wanted one. We kind of fell in love with my character’s dire wolf, Lady, on set,” Turner told the Coventry Telegraph in 2013. “We knew Lady died [on the show] and they wanted to re-home her. My mum persuaded them to let us adopt her.”

Part of his comfort comes from the fact that he stars alongside longtime co-star Essence Atkins.

"I love that girl to death. It's kind of like a set marriage -- she gets me," Marlon tells ABC Radio. "She understand me comedically of where I'm going to go."

In Marlon, Wayans plays Marlon Wayne, an Internet star with an over-the-top personality, while Atkins plays his ex-wife, Ashley. The two actors -- who already have a history of starring in five projects together, including A Haunted House and A Haunted House 2 -- acknowledge their close bond. Marlon says their chemistry is part of the draw of the show.

"I call her the heart of the show," Marlon explains. "And it's the thing that's going to make people watch. It's not just the jokes, but people tune in...because they fall in love with the journey of what the characters are going through emotionally."

Atkins concurs, but adds that their on-screen relationship isn't destined to happen off-screen.

"He's an amazing guy and he's amazing friend and we both love and respect each other immensely. It very much mirrors the relationship that our characters have," Atkins says of Wayans. "But I think deep down inside you know when it's not going to work. You don't want to risk the great connection that you have, the great friendship...the great trust... I want Marlon on my six until I'm old and grey.

During his appearance on Tuesday's edition of CBS' The Late Show, host Stephen Colbert asked Craig if he would return as the secret agent. "Yes," answered the 49-year-old actor.

TheNew York Times had reported in July that Craig was attached to the upcoming Bond film, but he'd been dodging questions about the role, until Tuesday night.

"I always wanted to, I wanted a break," said Craig, leading Colbert to call him out on a comment he made to Time Out London in 2015, where he insisted, "I'd rather break this glass and slash my wrists" than return to the role.

"It was two days after I finished shooting the last movie. I went straight into an interview and someone said, 'Would you do another one?' And I went, 'No!'" he explained. "And instead of saying something you know, with style and grace, I gave a really stupid answer."

Craig first played Agent 007 in 2006’s Casino Royale, and has since starred in three more Bond films: 2008's Quantum of Solace, 2012's Skyfall and 2015's SPECTRE.

Wed, 16 Aug 2017 05:01:00 -0500http://wbch.com/news/entertainment-news/38ec4898358be40a585bf0e388f928b3ABC/Paul Hebert(LOS ANGELES) -- The second night of the fourth-season premiere of Bachelor in Paradise got underway Tuesday with a wedding and an earnest conversation about the infamous production shutdown.

Host Chris Harrison announced the highly anticipated wedding of Evan and Carly and kicked off the show with a series of flashbacks of the happy couple, the highlight being Evan’s proposal.

We were then treated to flashbacks of other couples who fell in love and got married on the various Bachelor-related shows. There were scenes from the weddings of Trista and Ryan Sutter, who met on season one of the Bachelorette; Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney, from the Bachelor, season 13; Ashley Hebert and J.P. Rosenbaum from the Bachelorette, season 7; Jade and Tanner Tolbert who fell in love on Bachelor in Paradise season two; and Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici from the season seven of the Bachelor.

After, Harrison officiated at Evan and Carly's wedding at Playa Escondita resort in Mexico, where the show is filmed. The couple exchanged their own humorous vows, as Evan referred to Carly as an ocean he would never stop exploring and Carly called Evan her lobster. Harrison then made it official and pronounced man and wife.

When the show returned, so did the cast, minus DeMario Jackson and Corinne Olympios. The group sat down on the beach with Harrison and talked about what happened, without getting into specific details. It became clear that there was some concern about DeMario and Corinne’s behavior, but what was of greater importance was an open discussion about behavior when consuming alcohol, race, “slut-shaming” and the nature of consent. Whatever went down between DeMario and Corinne, it was clear that the rest of the cast was going forward newly enlightened.

The rest of the show focused on the cast picking up where they left off after the production shutdown. In the 10 days since they'd been away, some people got closer while others drifted apart. The men and women paired off into two groups, casually chatting about where they stand and who they’re interested in.

So far, it looks like Derek and Taylor are going to mate for life, as the two hit it off and were inseparable. Dean and Kristina and Matt and Jasmine both looked like they were going to follow suit, but by the end of the episode, it was not clear how solid their bonds were, with Dean expressing doubt about things with Kristina and Matt uncertain about committing to Jasmine.

Meanwhile, other two cast members are looking like they’re on thin ice before the rose ceremony next week. Alex seemed to be annoying Amanda, and Lacey cried, saying she wasn’t connecting with anyone so far. However, as the show closed, scenes from upcoming episodes indicate that the group is about to expand with new additions of single men and women.

"We are deeply saddened and heartbroken by the loss," the statement begins, calling Harris, "an extraordinary woman with a passion for riding and motorsports," with a "beautiful spirit and bubbly personality," who, "will be remembered for her ground breaking career as the first African American female road racer."

The statement goes on: "She was living her dream, when her life was suddenly cut short while filming as a stunt rider. She will be dearly missed by her race fans all over the world. We ask that you respect the privacy of her family and friends, as we mourn her loss."

Harris, 40, died when she apparently lost control of her motorcycle and crashed through a plate glass window.

Her Facebook page notes the racer was still recovering from surgery in June for a broken wrist. Her first race back after the operation was just last month. Afterward, she posted, "I needed to prove to MYSELF that I didn't lose my heart for the sport," adding, "I KNEW MY WRIST WASN'T 100% YET I NEEDED MY HEART TO BE?"

On Monday, Deadpool 2 star Ryan Reynolds himself tweeted a statement, saying in part he and others were "heartbroken, shocked and devastated…but recognize nothing can come close to the grief and inexplicable pain her family and loves ones must feel in this moment. My heart pours out to them – along with each and every person she touched in this world."

]]>20th Century Fox(LOS ANGELES) -- The motorcycle racing team that was home to Joi "SJ" Harris, the stunt performer killed on the set Deadpool 2 in Canada Monday, has posted a statement on Facebook.

"We are deeply saddened and heartbroken by the loss," the statement begins, calling Harris, "an extraordinary woman with a passion for riding and motorsports," with a "beautiful spirit and bubbly personality," who, "will be remembered for her ground breaking career as the first African American female road racer."

The statement goes on: "She was living her dream, when her life was suddenly cut short while filming as a stunt rider. She will be dearly missed by her race fans all over the world. We ask that you respect the privacy of her family and friends, as we mourn her loss."

Harris, 40, died when she apparently lost control of her motorcycle and crashed through a plate glass window.

Her Facebook page notes the racer was still recovering from surgery in June for a broken wrist. Her first race back after the operation was just last month. Afterward, she posted, "I needed to prove to MYSELF that I didn't lose my heart for the sport," adding, "I KNEW MY WRIST WASN'T 100% YET I NEEDED MY HEART TO BE?"

Tue, 15 Aug 2017 12:01:00 -0500http://wbch.com/news/entertainment-news/71a960969dae4d3df3d11a79ad000a35ABC/Lou Rocco(LOS ANGELES) -- After a temporary halt in production last June for this season of Bachelor in Paradise amid allegations of sexual misconduct that were ultimately disproven, the show's new season debuted on ABC Monday night.

Host Chris Harrison addressed the incident -- which involved then-contestants Corinne Olympios and DeMario Jackson -- in an interview that aired on Good Morning America Tuesday.

"You will see that Corinne and DeMario had very little to do with the entire incident as far as filing a complaint or allegations against one another," Harrison said. "And that's what created this frustrating situation. It was someone who really wasn't there and didn't see or hear anything that kind of got this ball rolling, and so it was kind of this domino effect that I guess led to us having to finally say, 'Look, we need to take everybody's safety and that is the utmost importance.'"

Shooting on the season resumed after production company Warner Bros. completed an investigation, noting the accusations weren't supported by evidence.

Bachelor in Paradise aired the arrival of Olympios and Jackson in Mexico, along with the rest of the cast, and showed the pair spending time together in the first episode. But producers confirmed to ABC News the show will not air the controversial footage that led to the shutdown, and that neither Olympos nor Jackson will return to the show.

However, Harrison said both Olympios and Jackson will get a chance on the show to clear the air concerning the alleged incident and its aftermath.

(NEW YORK) -- After a short hiatus, the much-anticipated second season return of Greenleaf has finally arrived. The Memphis megachurch drama returns to OWN with a two-night premiere starting at 10 p.m. ET.

The show, which centers on the Greenleaf family and their estranged daughter, Grace Greenleaf, is set to pick up right where the midseason finale left off in May. Grace, played by Merle Dandridge, finds herself intrigued by a journalist, played by Rick Fox, who's been covering the threats plaguing the Greenleaf family. In the season's second half, we'll find out how the pair's relationship has evolved.

"People really identify with Grace," Dandridge told ABC Radio last May. "I didn't expect it -- I don't know why I didn't expect it as much as it does happen. People walk up to me regularly to tell me very personal stories. And for that, that's everything you want as an artist and really as a human being that people share their humanity with you."

After tonight's premiere, Greenleaf will air in its regular night, Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET.
